HOPE FOR AMERICAS NAVY.

Commodore Wilson Appears to Thinl
That Its Outlook Is Very Bright.
WASHINGTON, Nov: 16.-Commodore T. D.
Wilson, chief of the bureau of construction
and repair of the Navy Department., has
submitted his annual report to the Secre-
tary of the Navy: He renews
his recommendation that two new
vessels of about 1000 tons each be
built to replace the training ships Saratoga,
jamestown and Portsmouth, which can not
possibly be kept in service much longer,
and he asks chat special authority be given
for the repair of the historic sloop-of-war
Hartford, at a cost of $l75, 1000 In con-
c.usion the report says:
THE outlook for the navy in the near future
Is very hopeful one, and with the completion
Of the vessels now projected the navy will con
sist Of number of modern vessels, admirably
adapted to the varied needs Of the service. The
character Of the work beng done on the vessels
now building and those lately completed shows
that our ship-builders are able to turn out YES
sells Of war second to none in the world. T1se
establishment of the gun factory at Washing
ton and introduction by the Bethlehem iron
works Of plant to furnish heavy armor and gun
forgings makes the United States absolutely
independent of other countries In the construc-
ton and armament OF her ships-of-war, and Il
the work OF rebuilding the navy Is only kept up
as 1t Is now going we shall soon have q navy
that will be credit as we'll as protection 70
our country and our oountry's interests"
: Tables attached to the report show the ex-
act condition of every vessel In the navy.
This table shows that in three years we
shall have twenty-o one of the wooden YES
sells remaining, IN six years but four and in
nine years the entire wooden navy will have
disappeared 49,

END OF THE BIG STRIKE.

District Assembly No. 40 Orders Its Mem
bers to Return to Work.
NEW YORK, Feb 14-District assembly
40 has declared the great strike at an end
and has ordered its men to return to work
on Monday. This action was taken on an
agreement with Austin Corbin of Reading.
Mr. Corbin consulted with Mr. Mclean the
receiver of the coal company, and it was de-
cided to open the Elizabeth works in week.
He gave as a reason for not opening them
Immediately that it would take at least three
or four days to get coal from the mines. He
also promised to pay the highest wages. II
differences arise they are to be submitted to
arbitration, one arbitrator to be chosen by
the company, one by the men, and one to be
called If the two fail to agree After the
conference between Mr.. Corbin and the
committee of the men a secret meeting Of the
Knights of Labor was held, and it was de-
cided to accept the terms in the interests Of
commerce and industry of the state Of New
York, and recommended to all employees Of
Mr.. Corbin to return to work. 1t was also
resolved that all coal-handlers except those
at Hoboken, Port johnson, Weehawken. and
Perth Amboy shall return to work.
There was a general scramble of long
shoremen and freight handlers to get back
to work along the whole river front Satur-
day morning In front of the pier gates the
strikers congregated as early as o'clock
waiting the chance to get the ear of the fore
man as he passed in the gate, or an oppor
tunity to slide on the dock over the bulk
head or through the side entrance. In no
case were they being taken back to work as
union men, but 1t is each man for himself.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Feb. 1.-THE strike
here is regarded as Writ ually at an end. The
canal boat drivers, the 'longshoremen, coal
handlers and grain shovellers are returning
to work in groups. The stevedores and ship
ping agents welcomed them back, being tired
of the inferior work of the new men
